Product Description:
Now in a completely updated new edition-the most trusted, most authoritative guide to breast cancer diagnosis and treatment
Recent research is rapidly changing the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of breast cancer. Just as women afflicted with or worried about breast cancer have turned to the earlier editions of Dr. Susan Love's guide for the soundest, most supportive advice, once again they will find all the help they need in this new edition. From guidance on screening techniques and benign disease to comprehensive and heartening advice on living with breast cancer, Dr. Love's book will be a priceless help to recovery on every level, medical, practical, and psychological.
Once again readers will lean with gratitude on the extraordinary empathy and expertise in the book that Newsweek called "One of the most complete and trustworthy books ever published on breast cancer."
Amazon.com Review:
Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book has been considered the bible of breast-care books since it appeared in 1990. In 1995, Love completely updated the book in a 600-page second edition, including new biopsy and screening methods, implants, the pros and cons of hormone therapy, new discoveries in breast-cancer treatment, and many other topics. Every chapter has been rewritten, with the exception of the anatomy chapter ("The breast, I'm glad to report, is still located on the chest!"). Love presents copious medical information in a simple, welcoming style, and plentiful illustrations make the information even clearer. About two-thirds of the book deals with breast cancer: risk factors, prevention, screening, diagnosis, staging, emotions, treatment options, surgery, alternative treatments, clinical trials, and more. But the book isn't just about breast cancer. It's also about breast development, physiology, bras, nursing, sexuality--if it has to do with breasts, Love discusses it. Love also debunks breast myths: underwire bras do not cause cancer, neither do bruises or injuries; "fibrocystic disease" isn't really a disease. The book includes a wealth of resources: books, treatment centers, and organizations (but no Web sites--perhaps in the third edition?). --Joan Price

This book was recommended to me by a breast surgeon as an excellent resource for me to use. I borrowed an earlier edition from the library and decided I wanted to own it. After purchasing the newest edition from Amazon, I was amazed at how well updated it was, and how Dr. Love clearly and understandably explained any differences in data from earlier books. It is easy to understand without being 'dumbed down' and I find myself turning to it - more than the internet - when questions come up. I ... Read More

The first breast problem I had turned out to be a cyst, and this book gave me all the information I needed to prepare myself and understand the procedures. Four years later I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I don't know how I could have gotten through everything without it. If you have a problem, do yourself a favor and buy this book. It is worth ten times the price.

I sent this as a gift to my sister-in-law, who recently was diagnosised with breast cancer. She has already lost her mom and sister, to this dreaded disease. She was pleased to get it, as it will help her make decisions, and teach about the best treatments.

My husband and I both read Susan Love's outstanding book on breast cancer. It gave us answers in a language that we could understand and information we could not find anywhere else. An absolute must for any woman who has or thinks they have a problem with breast cancer.
Rating: -
This book was amazingly helpful. I read through the parts that pertained to me and found it very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who is diagnosed with breast cancer. The information covered from diagnosed, surgery, treatment after, medications, and helpful hints on how to deal with each stage. A must book for breast cancer victims.
